I don't target mainframe jobs, but still get calls now and then.  If I
had the skills, I'd have taken a job in that field a few weeks ago.

So far it has almost been universally banking work, so I'd say he should
check all the banking centers.  Cities like Richmond, Charlotte, Dallas,
etc.

A few weeks ago I got a call from a Richmond recruiter I had talked to
before, asking if I had MVS skills, and if I knew anyone else.  AS/400
too.  This was a job at a bank, but as usual they would not say who.

Recruiters love the cloak-and-dagger game.

Another job in Richmond was with the Federal Reserve Bank there, and
they also said they needed UNIX people.  MVS and UNIX skills both was a
plus.
